36 Weeks

This post is a little late as T and I have been preparing our house and cars for the arrival of our little girl! I know I say this every post, but, I cannot believe we've made it this far! At this point, we are nearly 3 weeks away from meeting our little miracle!

Tomorrow she'll be full term! Right now, she's breech and we've been working hard to help her turn. She's pretty stubborn though, she's been in the same spot for the last 4 weeks. If she doesn't turn in the next week or 2, we will be scheduling a c-section. However, they will do an ultrasound the morning of the c-section, and if she has flipped, they will send us back home and give her time to come on her own! So, yes there is still time for her to turn, but, I just feel like she's not going to budge. Hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised and she will turn head down!

Other than that, Both her and I are doing well! She's pretty much fully developed, her lungs are ready for the outside world, her bones have finished hardening, and I'm sure at our ultrasound on Monday we will find out she's somewhere near 7lbs already! Wow, just 22 more days until we get to meet her! I can't wait to see what she'll look like!
